The risk of mosquito-borne diseases like eastern equine encephalitis and West Nile virus is prompting local health officials to advise residents to stay indoors during peak mosquito activity.
Most individuals infected with eastern equine encephalitis exhibit no symptoms, but about one-third who do become symptomatic ultimately die, highlighting the danger of this mosquito-borne virus.
To combat the mosquito menace, local health departments are actively spraying neighborhoods with insecticides, utilizing both trucks and planes, to reduce mosquito populations and mitigate the risk of disease.
